Senator Wants to Tax Internet Shopping

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the diapers-are-expensive dept.

tripleevenfall writes "A Democratic senator is preparing to introduce legislation that aims to end the golden era of tax-free Internet shopping. The proposal — expected to be made public soon after Tax Day — would rewrite the ground rules for Internet and mail order sales by eliminating the ability of Americans to shop at Web sites like Amazon.com and Overstock.com without paying state sales taxes."

    In case you haven't noticed, we all have senators and representatives elected by the people.
